Buenos Aires - San Telmo

Buenos Aires is all that I expected. Maybe even better. It is a marvelous city, with different areas, attractions, surprises. I fell in love since the first day, and this love is just growing bigger.

San Telmo was for me the most charming area. I was lucky enough to visit this barrio on a Sunday, when they hold a feria de antiguedades in Plaza Dorrego. According to my friend Catalina "es como Montmartre, pero allá". And it somehow makes sense.

This district is the oldest one in Buenos Aires and also known by the many Tango bars in the area, a must for wealthy tourists, willing to spend over a 100 USD for a "Tango dinner". Although, on Sundays you can enjoy some open air Tango dancers, for free.
